Design Jam II Winners!

Design Jam II Winners!

Thank you so much to the DOZENS of writers who submitted monsters into the recent Nimble Monster Design Jam. My fellow judges (Matt "DoubleKing" Shiffler, and Ross "TwinSteel" Brubaker) and I had a HARD time judging all of them as so many were SO good. Without any further ado, here are the winners:

Monster Design Jam Winners

  • 1st Place: Lizardfolk by Zedd Mokhtar
  • 2nd Place: Fey by Frank Hudson
  • 3rd Place: Cult of Unraveling by Thomas Fraley and Brian Smith

Runners Up

Just like last time, there wee a BUNCH of great runners up, these all had fantastic ideas, and with just a bit of work every one of them can be top monster groups to run and play against. The other top monster finalists are below (In no particular order):

  • Forks & Maws by Rémi Cabréra (The pebble)
  • Desert monsters by  Charles Archibald (Chas)
  • Drow by Pierre-Marie Kezel (Ghâsh)
  • Thugs by Christian Bertrand (Raford)
  • Mimics by Emil Andersen (Santuric)
  • Brimstone Dwarves by Zedd Mokhtar (Zedd)
  • Soulmongers by Jack Weighill (diceaveragejack)
  • Gloomveil by Luka (Can Opener)
  • Templars by Chthonic Duck (chthonicduck)
  • Giant Bugs by Nathan Warkentin (Trex)
  • Hermit Molemen by Tyler Overland
  • The Troupe by Finley Overland (Sprongo)

When/where will these new monster be released?

I'll likely be releasing these monster groups to the Patreon supporters first, and then eventually as standalone PDFs and printed Zines in the Nimble webstore (and maybe as  part of a compilation for a possible future crowdfunding campaign). Between now and then is a lot of art commissioning, editing, iterating, layout, and playtesting though! 

Thank you all again!

Thank you all so much for participating and making the event a success, I am planning on more in the future, the next one will likely be SUBCLASSES (but not for a while, since I have a bit of work with the crowdfunding and preorder fulfillment being imminent).
